That's years old but outstanding still. I've often wondered if that was a set up re video editing. If it wasn't that guy needs a medal.

I have looked at it a few times and cannot see any evidence of editing. They must have done a few runs with a dummy to verify the landing spot, but even then....

There are two occasions where the daredevil disappears from view. One is at the base of the ramp, the other is in the pool.
Also, it's hard to compare the height of his trajectory relative to the starting height.

Decades ago the company I worker for. Our delivery driver was driving along the road & got hit in the side of the head with a golf ball. Luckily he didn't die, we cleaned up the truck from the blood.
